Draft State settings are retained in course imports. If an assignment is unpublished in a course, the assignment will also be unpublished in the content import.

Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.

Not all content can be copied as part of a course. Learn about content imports.

Open Settings

In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.

Import Content into Course

Click the Import Content into this Course button.

Select Content Type

In the Content Type drop-down menu, select the Copy a Canvas Course option.

Search for a Course

In the Search for a course drop-down menu [1], select the course you would like to access. You can also choose to include completed courses by selecting the completed courses checkbox [2].

To search for a course by name, enter the name in the Course Name field [3]. Click the name of the course when it appears.

Notes:

If you have access to more than 100 courses, the search page only displays the Course Name field.

If you are an instructor, you can only import content from your previous courses. Admins can import content from any course in the account.

Select Migration Content

To import all content from the course, select the All Content radio button [1].

Note:If you select the specific content option, you are required to select the content you want to import after you review the remaining page options. After you start importing the content, the import selection cannot be canceled.

Adjust Events and Due Dates

If you want to adjust the due dates associated with the course events and assignments, click the Adjust events and due dates checkbox.
